Preparing for Lent


“Lent is a retreat that the Church gives us in order to re-focus on what should be first in our lives. The purpose of Jesus' life was to glorify the Father and save the world. ..Lent is not first a time of giving up but a time to re-choose to be the victim of Christ, the Lamb. It is a time to live the Beatitudes.” (Fr. Dominique, OSJ)

For the next 40 days or so, I'm cutting myself off from the news world and entering a world of silence (as much as possible). What would you like to do or give up for Lent? Read my thoughts at peoplepowergranny.blogspot.com. You can also vote in my poll.
